This wasn't a slip of the tongue this was on his heart and mind.

It's the biggest reason the right can't win with poor and minorities ans many women for that matter. The marginalization of entire swaths of the American population. He said what's in his heart. HE DOES NOT CARE. He does not care for anybody that does not vote for him. He doesn't care about the poor about minorities, women's issues or immigrants. He cares about land owning white males period. Everybody knows it.

Did you watch the whole thing? I hadn't realized how many blunders he's perpetrated!

Yeah, but they were either about subjects from half a century ago like WW2 ghosts or arab dialects. Romney's blunder was about 47% of Americans living here now.

Do you really think Obama hasn't said something stupid before, that he later regretted?

What indication do we have that Romney regrets saying it?

He seems to regret having what he says at his private meetings with donors shown to the public.

He said so. If you have real insight into his inner motives, let's hear them.

One of the problems in our society today is that people just believe what the media tells them without examining it for themselves. Clearly, that is the case here, as you seem to have just bought into the talking points you heard, rather than listening to the speech for yourself.

Romney never said he doesn't care about the 47%. What he said is that it's not a good campaign strategy to try to convince people who don't pay taxes that it's in their best interest to lower other people's taxes because they don't have a horse in that race and so it isn't an issue for them.

Please, use some discernment before you post things like this.

I believe in neither side of Rmoney's mouth. He lied to the people in that meeting as he threw millions of Americans under the bus by saying they pay no taxes. He threw retired people and poor people under the bus. His heart knows only money and knows not the struggles of the poor. He is the epitome of elitist.

But they don't. In fact, according to that right wing, propaganda rag, the New York Times, the number of those who don't pay income taxes is actually four percent higher than Romney said.

He threw retired people and poor people under the bus.

How so?

His heart knows only money and knows not the struggles of the poor. He is the epitome of elitist.

Then how do you explain all the charity and philanthropy?

Rmoney's own words.


I am part of the 47% because I am with Obama, however I am not dependent on government, I am not a victim, and I do not believe I am entitled except I do expect a return (SS and Medicare) for the tax money I pay out.

Rmoney lies about me and Rmoney does not speak for me.

Rmoney lies so people will send him money.

I believe blaming the media when we have Rmoney's own words is victimization; the same type of victimization to which Rmoney speaks.
